Nebraska Democrats head toward their state convention unsure of who will lead the party with concerns about unity.
Nebraska Democratic Party Chairman Vince Powers will NOT seek re-election after attempting to form a unity ticket prior to the state convention.
But he says the potential contest between 2014 gubernatorial nominee Chuck Hassebrook and Bold Nebraska founder Jane Kleeb for chair demonstrates strength, not division. . .

Powers credits Bernie Sanders supporters for boosting enthusiasm. . .

Though Sanders won the caucus, Hillary Clinton won the primary in Nebraska.
